How big is Rothes Bio-Plant?
Rothes Bio-Plant has a recorded installed capacity of 8.3 MW. That figure is the capacity registered in REPD, which is the scheme as consented — the metered output of a site can differ.
Who operates Rothes Bio-Plant?
REPD records the operator as Scottish Bio-Power. Ownership of built renewable assets changes hands regularly and REPD is published quarterly, so treat this as the operator of record rather than confirmation of who owns it today.

The application was submitted on 2008-03-17. Permission was granted on 2009-01-28, 10 months later. The site became operational on 2013-04-16, 51 months after consent.
